master - is used for the upcoming Mars release, which will be Stardust 3.0

I_4_4 - is used for Luna service releases

all other branches should be ignored

For more details on the differences between stardust versions, please look at the project website.

If you like to clone a specific branch add "-b <branch-name>" to the git command. To work on a stable source please use release tags as checkout. We have a help script (linux) to do git commands on all stardust repositories:

Build Stardust

Prerequisites

Running the Build

To maybe cover the different build configurations in branches, we have a readme.txt available in the source tree. Please follow the steps described in readme.txt residing in product folder.

Version Qualifier

The concrete value of the .qualifier version part may be set to a define value by appending "-DforceContextQualifer=<qualifier value>".
Please note, that if you do not provide an explicit Stardust version and qualifier, build artifacts will use the default build version (which is currently 9.9.9-SNAPSHOT). You should check startust/org.eclipse.stardust/org.eclipse.stardust-parent/pom.xml for the ipp.version, which should equal the version you are
using in your overall build.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any problems downloading the source code or building Stardust then please contact us via the Forum.

Errors fetching Dependencies

If you encounter errors during the build that indicate missing dependencies which could not be fetched from the repositories then try cleaning the ivy cache folder .ivy in your user.home (e.g. C:\Users\your.name\.ivy, if it exists) and the maven repository (check settings.xml in M2_HOME/etc and/or user.home/.m2 to determine the location).

If your are using Maven 3.0.4 behind a proxy please see here on how to fix the issue.

IDE Build (Under Construction)

You have the possibility to build stardust also in your Eclipse IDE.

Importing projects into Eclipse

After you have executed the build you can import the projects into Eclipse. Although we're using Maven as the main dependency management system we have currently some projects which are using Ivy for the dependency management (this will be slowly but surely changed sooner or later). Because of the fact that the IvyDE plugin can handle Ivy and Maven projects we have adjusted all projects to work with this plugin.

Installing IvyDE plugin

At first you have to install the IvyDE plugin. To do that just click on "Install new Software..." in the Help menu item of Eclipse. In the upcoming dialog press the "Add..." button and provide the following URL http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/ivyde/updatesite. Please install "Apache IvyDE" and optionaly "Apache IvyDE Resolve Visualizer". These can be found in the section "Apache IvyDE Eclipse plugins".

Import build.tools project

Now import the build.tools project with help of the "Existing Projects into Workspace" wizard of the import dialog of Eclipse.

Configure IvyDE plugin

After the installation of IvyDE and the build.tools project import, open the preferences dialog of Eclipse which can be found in the Window menu item and click on Ivy in the left panel. Now configure the plugin as follows:

this assumes that you have already imported the build.tools project in Eclipse

Importing all projects

In the last step you can import all remaining projects into Eclipse with the "Existing Projects into Workspace" wizard of the import dialog of Eclipse. As the root directory you can choose the GIT checkout folder. As a result of this all projects are listed in the Projects view. Please remove the marker left of the project stardust-hazelcast-ra because it is currently not used. After this click on the "Resolve All" button which can you find in the IvyDE toolbar:

This step can take some time. Therefore we're suggesting to open the Ivy Console in the Console view to see/validate the resolve progress.
